I myself am from Belarus, since 2010 I have been using only LUXVISAGE XXL mascara. Before that, I tried a million options, both expensive and not so. I even got my girlfriend from Moscow hooked on this mascara. I advise you to buy it in our large stores such as GUM, TSUM, Nemiga (once a week, stores arrange discount days up to 25% for everything). We have this mascara only about 3 USD. Mascara is as good as many imported brands, and even better than many. Is it worth overpaying for ink? When you can safely throw it away and buy a new one in a couple of months. I personally use it for half a year)
